Notes (2)

  1. The two phrases differentiated here are presumably quoted from somewhere; see further, next note.
  2. 1Third person plural imperfect of e)/ceimi (from ei)=mi "go"); cf. epsilon 1715. Many of the instances of this verb are military, and this phrase itself is perhaps quoted from Thucydides 1.15.2. ↩
  3. 2Third person plural imperfect of e)ci/hmi. ↩
